Does this swivel stress the mag tube? Does it slide around? Would a front mount that goes completely around the mag tube be preferable?

Hi ... I don't think it stresses what I have it on . If I were using on say a lever I'd try to go around the tube .. I'm using the 2 I bought on model 24 Savage .... 222/20ga. & 22RF/410 they work ok but you've got to adjust them "just right" to keep them from moving around ...hope this gives ya some help ? .....

A properly sized swivel (the model that is specific to the rifle's model and caliber) will not stress it, especially if you mount it closer to a supported end of the tube (the forend or the barrel end); I've never felt that the swivel mount would crush or pinch the tube while tightening it. It isn't supposed to slide around, and in fact when I mount, I apply a small amount of super glue (thick) after carefully degreasing the mount and tube, so that it stays put. Let it cure for a day or so. Use acetone to remove any leftover glue that may seep out from behind. The design of these particular swivels has worked very, very well for me, but I do admit that I am rather "easy" on mine when shouldered. I don't do African safaris or the like, and under those conditions, I have no idea. In my opinion, properly fitted and mounted, these are very rugged and would NOT damage the tube or easily come loose. My particular application has been with the Rossi 92, 357 and 44. These swivels coupled with the "Claw" sling are close to perfect.

I used the magpul cantilever and it works great. Really solid and takes abuse.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B7NECNK?pc_redir=1409500481&robot;_redir=1

It works well with a double stacked mag. It is a little tight for my XD mags, but with a little work they are placed, and removed smoothly.

Yea the tension is adjustable. It was easy to mount before and after mounting the scope. The levers are easy to use but I could see them being difficult to use with gloved hands.

Ihave mine on a 12 ga as well, it hasnt exploded or anything yet, seems to be holding up fine to recoil,the mount is solid and it seems like a stout design, overall.

Maybe, in some cases I found that the laser would not secure to the picatinny rail and would wobble, due to the unusual way that this secures. It doesn't squeeze onto the sides of the rail for a tight grip like all other mounts I've seen, instead a spring loaded retainer snaps in between the recoil grooves. It is in no way a tight grip on all picatinny rails.

I wouldn't use a single point cantilever mount on a gun like that. Without really cranking down on it with my torque wrench, it couldn't even handle my Stag-15 without being tightened every 15-25 rounds.

It does, I had no problems with it. It may take a little bit of time to make sure you have it secure. But the truth is I haven't seen a scout mount better than this.

I used it with a Magpul 30rd mag in my AR but it was very close to the back height adjustment knob. I also would say it would depend a lot on the butt stock you are using. I have a Troy CQB Battle Axe and used a piece of foam to help tighten the stock into the rear bracket. There is adjustment on the knob for three positions but I have mine positioned to accept both rifles I use the rest for.

It is probably too wide, it works perfectly on dual stacked mags It works great on the mags for my m&p; 9c. I've haven't tried it on anysingle stack mags

I have one installed on a 590 with a pistol grip. It has held secure with a flashlight attached for over 200 hundred rounds, about half of which were buckshot or slugs. If it's loose just cut a piece of sandpaper to fit in one side of the clamp. Put the grit side towards the clamp not the mag tube. That way there will be no marks on the tube when you remove it. I've done this for other applications and it holds securely.

This is a bayonet mount and a sling mount. If I tried to mount this on my Colt M4 I wouldn't use the swivel mount; if you tried the handguard would be in the way.

Mine did, and after hearing it wouldn't go back and stay I decided not to try , but after my first trip with a 3.6" mag mount falling over at 70 I went out and got a 6" mag mount that worked fine till it started folding over at hi way speeds by itself . I just put heat shrink on that part to fix it . J am seeing a higher than normal swr with my analyzer so mag might not be good for 6 and 10 meter.

It doesn't swivel, but it is a stud. This is an adapter for the Harris bipod that connects to a stud.

Hi, yes, normal mounting requires a swivel stud for mounting. If your firearm doesn't have a swivel stud you can purchase a pair and install them yourself, they aren't difficult. Check YouTube, there are a few instruction videos. Hope this helps.

Yes, it mounts to the mag tube. Your light should mount to this if it has a rail mount base and you shouldn't need a additional rail. I purchased a 'AimSHOT Quick-release Rail Mount' from the SPORTSMAN'S GUIDE (#228478 @ $25.00), so I could remove my light if needed. P.S. The Quick-release rail mount is adjustable on rail thickness and I very satisfied with the end result.

The Mossy 500 comes in many configurations these days - some of which do not leave much available length on the mag tube; make sure you have at least 1.5 inches of mag tube availalbe to mount this product - any less and you'll have to modify something which I do not recommend.
